Just Mashed in the Sheep shagger. Love the smell of the Golden Promise malt. I really like it. It cracks well, husks stay whole and has a rich malty smell.

I opened the bag of NZ D-SAAZ. WOW. Im FWH'ing with 30 g and its sitting dry in the kettle ATM. Its all i can smell. Its awsome stuff.

HEre is the recipe to wet your apetites.

Bottled my Mocha Stout this arvo, in case I make the cut. Might brew another less radical and experimental beer (Amarillo APA possibly) sometime in the next week for a backup beer. Better to be safe than sorry.

 

[Tony]

just cooling mine now...... almost 400g of hop flowers makes hop soup. Its thick and chunky with hops.

And i have to say its the best smelling beer i have had in the kettle. Its sooooooo aramatic.

cheers

Count me in for a bowl of that hop soup. Sounds tasty!

 

[Tony]

God i hope my little mesh hop filter in the bottom of the kettle works :huh:

If it doesnt it may get messy

 

[Tony]

that SS bar is 3 inches from the bottom and they are 2 inches over to top ot it after draining.

I lost a couple of liters to the hops but it was worth it.

Its going to be a great beer........ it smells soooo good. I cant stop sniffing it.

cant wait to see what its like once its done.

Hope its good

cheers

Oh man...that just tempts me to crack out the Cascade hop flowers a mate of mine brought down from Brissie for a brew. Just waiting for the right brew to use them in.

 

[Tony]

if your going to use cascade...... use the yank stuff.

the NZ cascade is not as good. Its not a bad hop but is not as good as the yank one as far as im concerned and i dont like cascade.

these NZ hops in this beer are my fav NZ varieties after trying a lot of them. they work so well together too.

NZ hops are NZ hops. the only concession i give is the Pacific hallertau. Its NOTHING like the german hop. its spicy like cinimon and buttery smooth.

the sothern cross has a lemon citris hint to it and with 24% cohumulone in a 16% AA hop its great for bittering.

the B saaz is spicy and slightly sirtusy and the NElson Suuvin is a hop all to itsself. I used it on its own a while back and it was nice but i remember thinking it needed to be used in conjunction with other hops to shine and it seems to have worked.

Just tasted the hydromiter sample.

45 liters @ 1.070 (the hops drank a bit)

Malt is sweet and well ballenced to the hops. flavour is not in your face as i wanted. its there but it supports the malt.

the aroma is huge which is what i really wanted. I wanted it to taste good but smell BIG

its being firmented in the fridge to make sure no high temps are hit while its warming up.

cheers

Hey Tony,
not wanting to go off topic ( as I go completely off topic ), but do you do anything special to get your immersion chillier that clean, or is that just the effect of 1/2 litre of hop oil?

Cheers
Chris

Bottled my Mocha Stout this arvo, in case I make the cut. <snip>

Muggus, you're in. You can have my spot.
I'm not going to be able to brew & bottle a whole batch and keep up my summer/xmas/new year stock at the same time.

Have a blast
Tim

Wow! Thanks alot Tim! I'm happy to take your spot if you're not confident that you can put down a brew by then, but if you change your mind i'm happy enough to give it back to you.

Cheers

It lives in the kettle. Its hard plumbed it.

I take it out after each brew and give it a hose and a bit of a scrub with a green scourer but nthing flash.

Probably the hop oils making it shine.

The brew is starting to bubble ay 18 deg ATM.

cheers

 

[monkeybusiness]

Damn, that all looks good Tony.

Just put my stout together. All smelling great and into fermenter tonight. I opted for liquorice extract as I've been popping this in my stouts with pleasing results. However, as I was squeezing the little bottle, the nozzle thing proceeded to launch from the bottle and into my wort never to be seen again.{insert sound of palm smacking forehead}

Looks like I'm going to have to do a back up brew in case this turn out infected. Time to step up production...

the smell of cascade & amarillo was most enjoyable on the day.

 

[3GumsBrewing]

Ok, sorry guys but I am going to have to pull out (hehe) of this swap. <_<
Looks like I am going to be in between houses for the next 6-12 weeks, so the Maibock is going into a cube and to a mates house to lager till next year!

Good luck to all.

Cheers
DK

Exactly what I did last time. Even though it wasn't my first time. h34r:

I'll try to get some labels together this time, but there's no real need, except that my bottles will look better than Steve's.
